Abstract
We have reviewed all available data related to the development of live r dysfunction in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). It seems that TPN-related liver dysfunction is multifactorial. Among a ll factors involved, two are most significant in the development of li ver dysfunction, i.e., underlying disease and illness severity. In mos t cases, liver dysfunction is both self-limiting and reversible after cessation of TPN.
